Nice pics. Makes me glad I changed my plans to get up there one day this week before the warmup / freeze coming this week.

Any word on the Sunbrook lift opening date? Haven't seen anything in a while.

The end of this week is what word on the hill was this past weekend. Not sure how the stinker that Mother Nature is going to throw their way on Friday will play into the exact day

Also skied Weds. Great conditions especially on the non groomed. Found some good bumps and loose powder on the North Face. Good size crowd for a weekday and an impressive blitzkrieg of snow guns everywhere.
If your on the fence for Thursday....GO

How bad.do folks expect crowds to be Monday?
Between hitting Snow that day and going to West to avoid Epic lines.

If past years of weekend Xmas and New Years, crowds start out smaller earlier in the week and ramp up as we get closer to New Years.

Where are you thinking for West?

I'm thinking about West Mt in Queensbury NY which is on IndyPass

The 26th usually isn't too crazy, historically what I would call a "light weekend crowd". The 27th is when the full on crowds tend to show up most years and stick around through the 30th, when a fair amount of the masses start their trek back to the flatlands for their New Years Eve parties

The only reason I’d go West over Snow is if they miraculously get significant snowfall this weekend. Even with a larger crowd Mt Snow will have the terrain and infrastructure to mitigate that.
Thanks. I've just been concerned based on horror stories from recent past Xmas breaks at Snow.

Doing Okemo on 25th when lines should be fine

If you avoid Bluebird you’ll be fine. Sundance/GSE and Outpost/Challenger will be your best bets to avoid lines. Sunbrook may even be open by then.

Ahhh, that West, I was thinking you meant flying somewhere. We're thinking about hitting West on my way to MS. Haven't been there in ages and like you said, it's on the Indy. We'll wait to see how conditions are looking.

As West is opening with only the South peak, I will definitely do Mt Snow on Mon.

As it is not real apparent on their site can someone remind me what the new parking fee is

Lots B and C, Sundance and Lower Carinthia are free on non-holiday weekdays. Also all lots are free after 1pm.

Grabbed a brownie and a ride to top. Still cold as hell but much faster! Appreciate the design element of the woody control cabins. Lots of guns firing everywhere. 13D16EA5-485E-4B8E-BBA9-BA571F691A22.jpeg

The brownie cookie combos are as sweet as the new lift! Eating them now. Ridge trees are skiing well. Will have to check out some others. No lines at Sundance....
